About the timezones, a.t.m, you cannot set timezones using
openchangeclient. And, what is displayed here is just a label (same in
Outlook). Internally, Exchange uses a different property altogether -
to identify timezone information. (Setting this property is quite a
task, since its no ID or a string-index, but a binary blob with some
weird structures within). This [1] is a pretty old list of values for
the same. I know that they altered/added a couple more with
Vista/Exchange 2007.

I'm not too sure about this. For WebDAV, this parameter is probably
required (/me remembers reading about CDO instance types for handling
recurring appointments/tasks). For MAPI though, handling recurring
appointments/tasks is by using another binary blob. More here [2].
Bottomline: pure MAPI may not use this property.
